About Susan G. Komen for the Cure Hawaii Affiliate

The Hawaii Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is dedicated to combating breast cancer at every front. Up to 75 percent of the Affiliate's net income goes toward funding grants to local hospitals and community organizations that provide breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs for medically underserved women. The remaining net income (a minimum of 25 percent) supports the national Komen Grants Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific programs around the world.

The Hawaii Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, established in 1999, sponsors fundraising events including the Komen Hawaii Race for the Cure®. In 1995, the first Komen Hawaii Race for the Cure® was held in Honolulu with 800 participants. We are now celebrating our 18th Annual Komen Hawaii Race for the Cure® and our race has progressed. We hope to have 8,500 runners or walkers this year helping to raise money to fund screening, treatment and prevention for the underserved and uninsured women of Hawaii and to provide education about breast cancer.

Up to 75% of net funds raised from the Race and other fundraising events are provided to support other local non-profit organizations and educational institutions. No less than 25% of net funds raised support breast cancer research. To date, we have funded over $2,000,000.00 for breast health and breast cancer education, screening and treatment throughout the state of Hawaii.

Komen Hawaii Affiliate Focus
To expand Komen's mission throughout the Hawaiian Islands by supporting and promoting collaborations among Hawaii's healthcare providers and organizations; enabling implementation of cultural sensitive education, screening and treatment programs; thereby translating our vision into reality.

Our Vision
To have all Hawaii women, regardless of ethnicity or socioeconomic status, take responsibility for, and participate in, the highest level of breast health.

To expand Komen's mission throughout the Hawaiian Islands by supporting and promoting collaborations among Hawaii's healthcare providers and organizations; enabling implementation of cultural sensitive education, screening and treatment programs; thereby translating our vision into reality.

Our Promise
To save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is a national organization with a network of more than 100,000 survivors and volunteers working through 125 Affiliates across the United States and three international

Affiliates in Puerto Rico, Germany, and Italy. Credited as the nation's leading catalyst in the fight against cancer, the Dallas-based foundation and its Affiliate volunteers deliver the life-saving message of early detection to thousands of women and men and continue to lead the way in fund raising for breast cancer research and community outreach programs.

Established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® has raised more than $1 billion for the fight against breast cancer.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® has become the Foundation's signature fundraising event. Originating in Dallas in 1983 with 800 participants, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® now includes men, women and children of all ages and athletic abilities.

It is an emotional and exhilarating event that gives women and their families an opportunity to support the fight against breast cancer in their communities, to remember those who have lost the battle, and to celebrate those who are surviving. The Race has also become the largest 5K run series in the nation with over 1.4 million participants in over 100 races in 2008 and is a nationally recognized sporting event in Runner's World, USA Track and Field, McCall's and many other premier magazines and media outlets.

Our Core Values
Our guiding principles were born from a simple promise made between two sisters...

Inclusion - to embrace the uniqueness of every individual
Stewardship - to be accountable for our performance, individually and collectively
Honesty - to foster a community of trust and integrity
Openness - to seek out new ideas and new ways of thinking
Passion - to demonstrate personal commitment to our Promise
Empowerment - to entrust others and hold yourself accountable

It began with a sister's promise. It will end with a cure.
